Yes I always end it before the glass. Last time I used painters tape and placed the tape where I thought the chair frail would end. When the guy came to measure for the frameless glass doors he appreciated the gesture and actually moved the tape back a smidge. I should have mentioned that!

I am a fan of cultured marble,done in the right colour it looks and lasts longer than ceramic and no dirty grout,it buffs up to new once a year with light compound.I am building a new home and thought I would use it again,but maybe I should listen to above comment maybe it is a 90,s thing then again Mine wasn't tacky and was in an estate home in an ensuite with 14 foot cathedral ceilings and in a 6x6 shower.

Hi Myra, I am assuming the grab bar is on the inside of the shower? If so, the door will hit the the bar unless you install a narrow (4"-6") fixed panel against the wall and then the door so when it opens to 90 degrees it won't hit the bar. The other, more simple option, is to put a small clear bumper where the door would touch the grab bar, one like you may have on the inside of your cabinet doors. They are inconspicuous. Hope this helps! Bob Leimgruber

My father was a highly regarded tile contractor in the 60s, 70s and 80s. Also made cultured marble countertops, sinks, coffee tables and shower surrounds. He also had patents on some sink processes (varying thicknesses meant the heat while curing often resulted in cracks). Cultured marble was a great product in its day. Could be made virtually any color, shape, lots of swirls or just a little. My father chose tile walls and floors when building a new home in the late 60s, with CM counters, sinks and shower seats. No CM surrounds. I never particularly liked CM for shower surrounds. And even on rare occasions when installed one, always used tile floor. CM has a very thin finish, a gelcoat that is sprayed on a waxed mold. Poured upside down, then a large vibrator is used to make air bubbles rise (to what will be the underside). You want a shower floor with traction, small tiles with lots of grout rows to help prevent slips and falls. Want a substitute product for CM surround? Check out ForzaStone. Have never used it. Today, IMO CM dates a home. It is a once great product that is IMO on its last legs.
